Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In over 95% of cases, the thoracic duct terminates in the internal jugular vein, the subclavian vein, or the angle between the two.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your subclavian vein is a deep vein that moves oxygen-poor blood from your upper body back to your heart. You have one on each side of your body. Your right subclavian vein carries blood from your right upper body. Your left subclavian vein carries blood from your left upper body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Collecting ducts: Lymphatic vessels empty the lymph into the right lymphatic duct and left lymphatic duct (also called the thoracic duct). These ducts connect to the subclavian vein, which returns lymph to your bloodstream.
